The Lamborghini Countach returns with a roster of modern technology and design that includes a raucous V12 power plant and a lot of carbon fiber.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Lamborghini Countach. To celebrate, the company is bringing back the heralded model in modern form, launching the Countach LPI 800-4 at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering today.Lamborghini promotes the new version of the vehicle as having the looks and power of the classic vehicle. A large part of that equation is the extensive use of carbon fiber, which includes the monocoque and full exterior and interior trims .
The dry version of the Countach LPI 800-4 weighs in at a little over 3,500 pounds giving it a better power-to-weight ratio than the Sián FKP 37. The car's engine is straight out of the Sián. The 6.5-liter V12 is combined with Lamborghini's hybrid super capacitor technology. The car's e-motor is powered by the super capacitor and provides three times more power than a lithium-ion battery of the same weight. The result is just over 800 horsepower combined, which helps give the car its 800-4 name.
